Before & After: Spring to Summer on a Mountian Top

Hold on to your hats, I am a little obsessed with the beautiful portfolio of Alex Smith in Atlanta. He has mountain gardens broken out in a separate section on his site and they are truly breathtaking (as is the rest of his portfolio)…and it is especially fun to see the steps to put it all together.
So here is the first before and after garden to whet your appetite….I am going to break them up into a few posts here. While not a true nothing to something transformation because the bones of the garden are here, this spring to summer transformation is remarkable and makes me excited for the coming weeks.

Hi, I'm Rochelle and for 18 years I have worked as a landscape designer, author/writer, and design teacher.
I've designed residential and hospitality (for hotels, restaurants, and spas) gardens across the USA and in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. After many years of teaching garden design topics in person, I launched the PITH + VIGOR Boot Camp series in early 2018.
Through my blog, social media, and online courses (Garden Design Bootcamp and Planting Design Boot Camp) I aim to help homeowners learn how to confidently design and create home gardens that reflect their own personal and unique style.
